The walk to school is the fair and uphill trade off for consuming fresh pastries, pizza, cheese, pasta, gelato and vino on a day to day bases. You would think I would be a size 0 by how much we walk all day everywhere, but I think it's actually just balancing my food consumption. But I have notice there are absolutely NO fatty's in Italy. To make matters worse, we just found the most amazing and cheap catering pastry shop in the building next to our flat. Although the stairs to our street are painfully steep, we all encourage each other by loudly reciting our stomach contents from the day before. It also helps that this is our view on the way to school every day. It's amazing to me how much I would miss if I had a car, or rode a bus.
